Promoting Wellness, Dignity & Independence for Older Adults
‘Wired for Connection’ Prescreening
Science confirms what we at Curry Senior Center have known for decades: connection counts. With the tremendous support of our donors and volunteers, our organization has been combating the life-threatening health implications of loneliness and digital isolation. Featured in their upcoming documentary, Wired for Connection, Curry Senior Center’s Lunch Bunch humanizes an issue that is a greater health risk than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Prior to its broadcast premiere on PBS June 1st, Curry Senior Center will host a pre-screening of Wired for Connection at 1:30 PM on Wednesday, May 13th, in the Koret Auditorium at the San Francisco Library. Following the film, speakers Matthew Pantell, MD, and Ashwin Kotwal, MD, will participate in a panel to discuss emerging science and answer questions.

Decreased health makes aging in one’s home difficult to maintain and afford, causing older adults to lose housing or be sent to institutional care. At Curry Senior Center we make sure our older adults stay in their homes and their communities. We offer integrated health care, housing, case management support, meals, and community activities for all older adults, especially our most vulnerable, low-income, or unhoused.
We offer a number of services for our clients:
Programs
From Wellness to Behavioral Health, our programs help make sure we take care of the whole person.
Health Clinic
Our community’s seniors deserve access to health care, and our Primary Health Clinic makes it possible.
Housing
Housing is part of healthcare, which is why we have an apartment complex for once-homeless seniors.
Dining Room
Our dining room is more than just meals served, it’s where people gather to connect, share and learn.
